Do One Thread's Work for Sum of 1/i

Syntax
harmonic_worker()
Purpose
This routines computes the sum the summation that defines the harmonic series
     1/start + 1/(start+1) + ... + 1/(end-1)
start
This is the value of the harmonic_common information
     start = work_all_[thread_num]->start
end
This is the value of the harmonic_common information
     end = work_all_[thread_num]->end
thread_num
This is the number for the current thread; see thread_num .
